Review Centre: 1940s Era Musicians & Bands

"“A fantastic jazz band that lifted our reception to a higher level! The Jazz Centrale made our reception unforgettable. They arrived well on time, were very friendly, and exceptionally good at what they do. The music created exactly the right atmosphere. Communication beforehand and during the event was smooth and professional. They were flexible and thought along with us, which made the collaboration very pleasant. In short, a wonderful experience and absolutely recommended!” (10 / 10) Elisaar"

"Sometimes it all just falls into place. The setting, the situation, the scene, the tone -- everything is going your way. That describes last night for me. And at the heart of this mid-week Xanadu was the Rick Holland Uptown Orchestra, a modest, brass-centric outfit led by the trumpet-blowing Holland that swung with equal parts effervescence and laid-back cool at Lovin Cup. And come to find out, five of his Hollands regular guys were sidelined, and the holes on the bandstand were plugged with subs --- hired music muscle like Po’ Boy Erik Jacobs on the slide trombone. By the time the Orchestra heaped on a helping of Count Basie, there was nowhere else I wanted to be. I dragged my mom out in the cold for this show and she was thrilled when they stomped on the Savoy. Holland led the affair with a relaxed air, coaxing more than conducting under his porkpie lid. He went around the bandstand numerous times so every cat there got his fair shake, including pianist extraordinaire Bill Dobbins. This is one sweet band, yes, yes. Frank De Blase, Roch City News "

"Thank you SO much for playing for us on Saturday - it was quite a long drive for you all but we’re so so glad that you were able to come and perform. You created such an amazing atmosphere in the marquee and we felt so priviledged to have such talented musicians play for us. It was honestly perfect! Great communication, even better than what we expected, and very professional - perfect!"

"I've booked the guys to play at The Lowry Hotel a number of times and the quality of the music has been superb. Very professional and they created just the right atmosphere for the hotel. "

"Semplicemente strepitosi Li abbiamo scoperti per caso cercando la band per le nostre nozze. Nonostante non abbia avuto il piacere di ascoltarli dal vivo, fin da subito ho capito che sarebbero stati perfetti per il nostro giorno speciale. Floriana è una cantante fantastica oltre che una persona meravigliosa. Hanno accontentato le nostre richieste in maniera impeccabile e hanno fatto divertire e scatenare i nostri ospiti. Super!"

"Das Ambiente in Kloster Eberbach eignet sich hervorragend für eine Veranstaltung mit Verwandten und Freunden, insbesondere eine Hochzeitsfeier. Hierzu gehört einfach auch eine Band, die von ganzem Herzen Musik spielt und auf das Hochzeitspaar und seine Gäste eingehen kann. Das Wetter spielte hierbei ein große Rolle und so wurde unsere Feier zu einem vollen Erfolg. Ulli, Paul, Jean-Paul und Menousha haben tolle Musik gemacht und alle waren begeistert. Nicht zuletzt sang sie zum Schluß "I will survive" von Gloria Gaynor, eines meiner Lieblingslieder und auch ihres. Planung/Abstimmung Die Abstimmungen im Vorfeld liefen reibungslos. Eine Buchung sollte man mindestens 1 Jahr im voraus vornehmen, wenn man auf ein bestimmtes Datum und ganz bestimmte Musiker fixiert ist. Wir hatten eine gute Wahl getroffen. Saxophon und Keyboard reichen bei einer Hochzeitsfeier vollends aus. Die beiden Sänger Paul und Menousha waren hervorragend und Ulli sowie Jean-Paul beherrschen ihre Instrumente perfekt. Künstlerische Qualität Wie bereits gesagt: Gesang und Instrumente waren ganz toll. Die Abstimmung passte perfekt. Performance/Auftritt Stilvolle Kleidung, Auftritt dem Anlass angepasst, empfehlenswert. Anklang beim Publikum alle waren sehr angenehm überrascht. Die Musik und der Auftritt der Bandmitglieder passte zum gesamten Tagesablauf nach der Trauzeremonie im Cabinetkeller, Sektempfang im Freien, Spaziergängen im Park, Kaffee und Kuchen, Abendessen bei leichter Musikbegleitung durch Ulli und Jean-Paul. Schließlich die überzeugenden Gesangsdarbietungen von Menousha und Paul, der es darüber hervorragen versteht, das Publikum zu integrieren und seine Musik zu leben. Weiterempfehlung Meine Frau und ich würden zu jeder Zeit wieder Ulli und die anderen buchen. Die Gäste äußerten sich nur positiv. Wir werden sie weiter empfehlen, auch wenn der Preis recht hoch ist, wobei ich den Aufwand und die notwendigen Reisen hierfür verstehe. Nichts ist eben umsonst, vor allem wenn man seinen Gästen und sich selbst einen perfekten und unvergesslichen Event schenken will. Danke! "

"We were both extremely impressed by the band and really enjoyed the music. Even more telling was the number of comments we had from guests as we walked around during the reception. The band is extremely talented and the music they played for us was perfect. They played two songs for us that weren't on their regular set list, and both were great. We were really pleased with their performance and professionalism. Anybody who likes well played gypsy, Dawg, or music that isn't cookie cutter will love these guys."

"We hired Keziah to perform at a private wedding anniversary party for my parents. She was absolutely phenomenal and everyone said how talented she was. It was perfect because the music was a great ambience to the event with everything from the genre to the actual performance! People were able to sit and watch but also able to mingle if they wanted to! We would definitely hire her again. Highly recommend!"

"Sarah sang Nella Fantasia for my mum - it was beautiful, haunting and something special. Perfect classical performance which enriched my final goodbye to someone as special as my mum and I will be forever grateful that I found her. Thank you Sarah for making that last moment a beautiful one D xx (10/10)"

"Italian Wedding Band, Marino, where do we even start. We had Marino and the Italian Wedding Band play at our wedding, and they were nothing short of exceptional! From the very first note, they were a complete stand out – they had everyone on the dance floor, and it was impossible not to smile. They brought such a fun, energetic vibe, and their professionalism was clear from the moment they arrived. They truly are entertainers in every sense of the word – they read the room perfectly, created an incredible atmosphere, and even went above and beyond with a special performance for us, which we’ll remember forever. We were running a bit behind on the schedule, but they were so flexible and accommodating, working seamlessly around us to make sure the night flowed beautifully. Thank you so much to Marino and the Italian Wedding Band for making our night so magical – we couldn’t have asked for more!"

"Fleur has a lovely voice and is a great musician. She entertained my guests after dinner on New Year's Eve. If you are thinking of having a party ask her to come with her band. You won't be disappointed."

"Mixed Bag is aptly named! Their musical style is varied (from classic jazz standards to modern favorites with a smooth beat). The members jive uniquely with one another and engage with the crowd without forcing their presence. We were in an upscale wine bar and the tempo and volume matched the atmosphere perfectly. Mixed Bag would add life to any gathering, large or small!"
